	Up until recently I was viewing this wiki from a 16:9 monitor. After having switched to an older 4:3 monitor due to various circumstances, I was dismayed to discover that the infoboxes now sit on the left of the page, pushing everything else under it. This wasn't a problem under the old system in which all we needed was a shot of the game's cover art/box cover--we could align it to the right to let everything proceed as normal with the overview and table of contents at top, aligned left, and the game's cover aligned right. Is there any way to force the infoboxes to align right at all monitor proportions, like the old cover art images used to be? --[[User:Mazryonh\|Mazryonh]] ([[User talk:Mazryonh\|talk]]) 14:05, 5 September 2012 (EDT)		Up until recently I was viewing this wiki from a 16:9 monitor.

	::Well, when I fixed the videogame tables for M134 minigun I went to the effort of looking up all the release dates to put them in exact chrono order.

	:::With regards to the "developers", thus far I'm just going off of wikipedia which prolly isnt a winning strategy so I agree we should probably decide on a rule there. I will defer to your judgment (and that of other admins). I agree that the date should be moved to the top. One of the great things about using a template is that changing it here will change it on every page! :-) As far as release ''date'' I still maintain that we shouldn't worry about the month or day of release. I just think its that much more info that we don't really need and I'm worried it will cause people to start adding the full date to gun pages... But again, I will always defer to the admins. --[[User:Zackmann08\|Zackmann08]] 10:43, 16 May 2012 (CDT)		:::With regards to the "developers", thus far I'm just going off of wikipedia which prolly isnt a winning strategy so I agree we should probably decide on a rule there.
